Since then, QCV has funded numerous companies in the wireless sector, and set up several exclusive regional funds to spur development in key strategic markets.
QCV's strong relationships with leading cellular operators, applications developers and OEMs provide unique support for the companies in its portfolio. Combined with QCV's established connections in the VC community and access to wireless technology experts, these relationships provide the foundation for success, growth, and an appropriate exit strategy for portfolio companies.
